Fluctuations in cardiac stroke volume during rowing by Sejersen, Casper

“…Also, SV fluctuated markedly during the stroke with deviations being largest at the higher work rate. Thus, SV decreased by 27 ± 10% (31 ± 11 mL) at the beginning of the stroke and increased by 25 ± 9% (28 ± 10 mL) in the recovery (P =.013), while breathing was entrained with one breath during the drive of the stroke and one prior to the next stroke. …”

Energy optimization for bidirectional multimedia communication in unsynchronized TDD systems by Zorba, Nizar

“…In this paper, we concentrate on the time-division duplexing (TDD) option and how to efficiently allocate energy on both uplink (UL) and downlink (DL) channels that share the same bandwidth but over different time intervals. One of the main advantages of TDD is the possibility for load compensation between UL and DL, by allocating a larger percentage of time for the operation in DL if the system is congested in DL, and vice versa. …”

Results from the first culturally tailored, multidisciplinary diabetes education in Lebanese adults with type 2 diabetes: effects on self-care and metabolic outcomes by Sukkarieh-Haraty, Ola

“…This pilot-study tested the effect of culturally-tailored education targeting diabetes selfcare on glycemia and cardiovascular risk factors of Lebanese with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) (n = 27; Age: 61 ± 10 yrs, 59% males, HbA1c: 8.98 ± 1.38%). Results: Diabetes self-care (Diet, Self-Monitoring Blood Glucose and foot care) improved after 6 months, which was reflected in a significant drop in glycemic levels (HbA1c:-0.5%; FPG: − 38 mg/dl), and cholesterol/HDL ratio (4.45 ± 1.39 vs. 4.06 ± 1.29). …”
